OK, I found it... looked in jboss-service.xml and then the stuff below works if you wrap in a transaction. MBeanServer mbeanServer = MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss(); customManager = (CustomizationManager)MBeanProxy.get(CustomizationManager.class, new ObjectName("portal:service=CustomizationManager"), mbeanServer); userModule = (UserModule)MBeanProxy.get(UserModule.class, new ObjectName("portal:service=Module,type=User"), mbeanServer); User user = userModule.findUserByUserName(request.getRemoteUser()); Portal portal = customManager.getDashboard(user); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4102022#...
